Plateau came from behind to win 3–1. Jibril Ibrahim, Seiyefa Jackson and substitute Gideon Monday scored, and three different players made the assists. The winner came after Shooting Stars went down to ten men. Plateau had 19 attempts and scored with 3.
On the cameras, possession was level. Shooting Stars FC pressed harder, and that gap holds up statistically. Running speeds were level.
Two sources on this page, labelled everywhere: Recorded by match official for events our official logged live on Matchday, and Measured by cameras for what the rig measured. Only Plateau’s events were logged.
Man of the match
Plateau’s most involved player: 10 recorded actions, 3 more than any team-mate. He won the ball back 4 times (4 of the team’s 13, more than anyone else), was fouled 3 times, and made the assist for Seiyefa Jackson’s 71’ goal that put Plateau ahead for good (2-1).
Chosen by the club from the match official’s record. The cameras measure the team, not the player, so none of this comes from tracking.
Plateau went a goal down to A. Taheer on 15 minutes, drew level through Jibril Ibrahim just after half time, and won the match with two late goals: Seiyefa Jackson on 71 and substitute Gideon Monday on 87. Monday’s came three minutes after Shooting Stars had G. Adelowo sent off. The official recorded 19 Plateau attempts on goal, 9 of them on target, and 3 went in.
Ten of the 19 attempts missed the target or were blocked, and six of those ten came from two players: Majalisa Andrew (4) and Isaiah Sunday (2). One match is too few attempts to call it a pattern. It’s a list of clips to review, not a verdict.
Level. Plateau United 52%, Shooting Stars FC 48%, allowing for how many of each side’s players were near the ball. The 95% interval (48–57% for Plateau United) includes an even split, so the footage can’t separate the two sides. First half 49%, second half 55% to Plateau United.
Touchline camera, whole match. The ball was found in 20% of frames, which gives 534 touches to work from.
When the other side had the ball, Shooting Stars FC committed 34% of their nearby players to closing it down and Plateau United 28%. Shooting Stars FC pressed harder: the 6.6-point gap has a 95% interval of 1.9–11.3 points, so it clears zero.
Plateau won the ball back 13 times: 5 tackles won, 6 interceptions and 2 loose balls collected. They won 5 of their 7 recorded tackles. Yahaya Ibrahim led with 4; Majalisa Andrew and Vangsou Tchadienne (off the bench) had 2 each.
Each square is tinted toward whichever side spent more of its own time there, so the side picked up more often by the cameras gets no head start. Plateau United were the more present side in 101 squares and Shooting Stars FC in 86. The rest were even.

Position along the pitch: not settled. The minute-by-minute test finds a 2.3 m gap, but only one lens can tell the kits apart from the stand, so there is no second view to confirm it. Position across the pitch: level (neither test separates the two sides). Length, goal to goal: not settled. The minute-by-minute test finds a 4.1 m gap, but only one lens can tell the kits apart from the stand, so there is no second view to confirm it. Width: not settled. The minute-by-minute test finds a 4.2 m gap, but only one lens can tell the kits apart from the stand, so there is no second view to confirm it.
The pitch as you see it from the main stand, dugouts along the bottom edge. Plateau United attacked the right-hand goal in the first half and the left-hand goal in the second, read off the footage at each kick-off. The stronger a square’s colour, the more time that side spent there. Each side’s two maps share one scale, so you can compare a side’s first half with its second. The dashed line is the side’s average position.
First half: Plateau United spent 60% of their time in Shooting Stars FC’s half, Shooting Stars FC 41% in Plateau United’s. Plateau United pushed Shooting Stars FC back (a 19-point gap, 95% interval 8–30).
Second half: Plateau United spent 63% of their time in Shooting Stars FC’s half, Shooting Stars FC 49% in Plateau United’s. Plateau United pushed Shooting Stars FC back (a 14-point gap, 95% interval 2–26).
This shows where each side stood, not who closed down the ball: that needs the ball, and these figures don’t use it. The percentages come from the centre camera, the one lens that sees both sides of halfway, tested minute by minute.

Every Plateau player the official credited with an action. Minutes played are left out on purpose. Substitutions weren’t logged, so a per-90 figure would be wrong for all 20 players.
